Re: [OM] OT: Alaskan Aitplane Crash

     Which reminds me:  The pontoons are nowhere to be found in the photo.

     Some time last year there was a story about a fellow who placed a bunch of 
salmon in the back of his fabric-covered plane.  He came back hours later and 
found that a bear had ripped off most of the fuselage fabric.  He repaired it 
with duct tsap and flew it away.  It actually appears in the FAA records.
